Lunch: no idea
Dinner: no idea - we are going to in laws for party and I don't know what will be there. I'll fall back on my usual, which is just to avoid carbs and sugar totally (I'm SO sure there will not be a healthy carb in sight) and eat other stuff in moderation.

L. something strictly OP (hoping there'll be a veggie tray!)
D. zucchini 'spaghetti' with Swiss chard
S. my own safe version of lemon mousse

totally rocked it! the written part was easy peasy and the choreography part was fun - i didn't forget any of my sequences and only made one minor misstep in the cues. the proctor said i did great!
